PATRICK A. OMALLEY, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
PACKAGE-FASTENER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 238,605, dated March 8, 1881.
Application filed January 15, 1881.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PATRICK A. OMALLEY, ofBrooklyn, Kings county, State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Package-Fasteners, of which the following is a specification.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improvement, and Fig. 2 is an edge View of the fastener.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
The object of this invention is to facilitate the tying anduntying of packages of mailmatter and other materials.
In this invention a flat plate is provided, to one end of which the tying-cord is attached. The face of the plate is provided with fastenin g-pins and a pivoted clamp, the arrangement of the parts being such that in tying a package the plate is laid upon the package,-
and the cord then passed around the same, then under the head of a fastening-pin on the plate, thenaround the package in acoutrary direction, the extremity of the cord being then fastened on the plate by means of the pivoted clamp, as will be more fully described hereinafter.
A represents a plate, of metal or other suitable material.
' In the plate A, near one end, is formed an eye, B, to receive the end of a cord, 0, to be passed around the package D.
To the opposite sides of the middle part of the plate A are attached two fastening-pins, E F, to receive the cord C.
To the plate A, near the pin F, is pivoted a pawl or clamp, G, the engaging edge of which is inclined, to adapt it to clamp the cord (J against the pin F, and is roughened to cause it to hold the cord 0 from slipping. The pawl G is held against the cord 0 and pin F by a spring, H, attached to the plate A, or to a shoulder, flange, or rib, I, formed upon or attached to the said pIate A. The shoulder or rib I is made angular or curved, and protects the pawl G from a blow in such a direction as would tend to push it back from the cord 0 and pin F.
To the plate A, at a little distance from the pawl G, is attached, or upon it is formed, a
(ModeL) pin or projection, J, to serve as a stop to prevent the pawl G from being pushed so far back as to break or injure the spring H, or prevent the said pawl from springing forward against the pin F when released.
The fastener is especially designed for use in tying up packages of letters and other mailmatter, its peculiar construction allowing it to be fastened and unfastened very quickly, and causing it to hold the package securely, so that it can be thrown about without any danger of becoming unfastened.
The fastener can be proy ided with a handle for convenience in carrying a shawl or other package to which the fastener may be applied. I
In using the fastener, the plate A is placed upon the package to be fastened, the cord 0 is passed around the package, around the pin E, again around the package in a transverse direction, around the otherpin, F, and is drawn in between the said pin F and the pawl G, where it will be securely held by the said pawl, however roughly the package may be handled. In unfastening the package the free end of the cord 0 is drawn in such a direction as to draw back the pawl G, and is then slipped out While held taut between the end of the pawl G and the head of the pin F, it not being necessary to touch the pawl G in either fastening or unfastening the package.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patcut- 1. As an improved article of manufacture, a package-fastener constructed substantially as herein shown and described, consisting of the plate A, the fastening-pins E F, and the spring pawl G H, as set forth.
2. In a package-fastener, the combination of the plate A, the fastening-pins E F, the spring-pawl G H, and the cord 0, substantially as herein shown and described, whereby a package can be conveniently and quickly fastened and unfastened, and will be securely held, as set forth.
PATRICK A. OMALLEY.
